On Nov. 10, Rep. Ryan hosted a “Welcome Home Celebration” honoring Vietnam veterans on Nov. 10, at the Palmyra Area Middle School.

All across the nation, these celebrations are being held to let those who came home, and those that did not, that a grateful nation appreciates their sacrifice so that others may be free.

Ryan, of course, welcomed all veterans to the celebration to be recognized and over about 180 people attended, including more than 70 veterans.

Vietnam vets were presented with a special 50th Anniversary of Vietnam lapel pin created by Congress for the occasion.
